GreenLine® PrismView™ Blades - AMERICAN PROFILEThe English PrismView and American PrismView blade may be used:• When the view of the vocal cords is impaired, especially the most anterior larynx
• During nasal intubation
• For post operative examination of the larynx Both contain an optically polished prism which provides a refraction of 30° without image inversion. To prevent condensation, warm the prism before use by immersing the entire blade in warm water.
“G” PROFILE MACINTOSH BLADEBuilt with an integral, extra large fiber optic bundle providing more cool, white light. Integral design enables superior cleaning by elimination of cracks and crevices.• Integral fiber optic bundle• 303/304 surgical stainless steel• No cracks, crevices to trap debris, helps to prevent cross contamination• Cleaning/Sterilization: No adverse affect in using ETO, steam autoclaving, or by soaking in Sporax or Cidex.• Long life• Large fiber optic bundle offers more light• Not chrome plated

MacIntosh Blades - Improved VisionMACINTOSH REDUCED FLANGE BLADEPatented modification to the “English” profile laryngoscope blade. Reducing the flange will enable the user to exert less force upon the maxillary incisors. A channel has been created which adds strength to the blade. This provides a channel through which an endotracheal tube may be inserted after visualizing the cords.
MACINTOSH BLADE - IMPROVED VISIONSurgical stainless steel MacIntosh blades, designed to improve your view of the vocal cords.ENGLISH IV MACThis design provides the extended viewing channel for users who prefer an extended flange in the MacIntosh blade. The channel may also be used as a guide to insert an endotracheal tube.
Laryngoscopes With Conventional Illumination
AMERICAN PROFILE
The MacIntosh series laryngoscopes,designed by R. MacIntosh in 1941, are the predominant choice of the curved blade types. During laryngoscopy, the tip or “beak” of the blade is compressed into the angle formed by the base of the tongue and the epiglottis (vallecula), indirectly raising the epiglottis. The spatula of the blade has a smooth and gentle curve extending from the lock of the tip. In cross section, the construction resembles that of a reverse Z flange, facilitating greater access during intubation. A wide variety of sizes are available. Made of stainless steel.

REDUCED FLANGE E-MAC™ Patent # Des. 413.977 A modification of the English Profile blade by reducing the flange. This will enable the user to exert less force on the maxillary incisors while allowing more movement at the distal end to assist in visualizing the vocal cords. The added channel improves visualization of the cords and provides a guide through which an endotracheal tube may be inserted.
